Founding of Greater Philadelphia United for Peace in the Balkans

On Monday, May 10, 1999, various activists held a second meeting to plan local response
to the bombings in the Balkan region. It was decided to form a coalition
named "Greater Philadelphia United for Peace in the Balkans." After
discussion and revisions there was a consensus on three points:

an immediate halt to u.s./nato bombings

no combat troops

humanitarian relief for refugees and all bombing victims
